GMI Cloud<\/a>, a leader in AI-native GPU cloud infrastructure, today announced a strategic partnership with Magna AI<\/a> Inc. to jointly architect, deploy and scale a global network of sovereign AI Factories (AIFs), with the initial wave of projects architected around\u00a0<\/a>NVIDIA Vera Rubin NVL72\u2122. Magna AI, Inc. is a new sovereign AI company born from a partnership between Trend Micro\u2122 and Wistron Digital Technology Holding Company (WDH). Collaborating with NVIDIA, the companies will build and deploy sovereign AI infrastructure, including AI factories, GPU cloud services, and AI security solutions, across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and Africa.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

With confirmed projects breaking ground in Malaysia, Belgium, and Romania later this year, both companies have initiated joint planning activities covering site evaluation, infrastructure architecture, sovereign compliance requirements, and phased deployment models. These regions are experiencing rapidly growing demand for sovereign AI infrastructure, driven by increasing national investment in AI independence, regional digital transformation, and the need for secure, high-performance AI computing capacity. Other locations are currently being finalized in Africa and the Middle East.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The global shift towards sovereign AI is driven by a consensus that dedicated AI computing power is a fundamental pillar of national prosperity. According to McKinsey research, global AI spending could reach $1.3 trillion to $1.5 trillion by 2030. Governments are moving decisively to mitigate the strategic risks of depending on foreign-controlled platforms, data jurisdiction conflicts, and volatile supply chains.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

“A nation’s prosperity and security are at risk if it cannot control its own digital destiny. Simply put, sovereign AI is a non-negotiable component of modern statecraft,” said Alex Yeh, CEO of GMI Cloud<\/strong>. “GMI Cloud’s mission is to be the trusted partner for governments in architecting, building, and operating this critical infrastructure. We provide the foundation for them to protect and secure their competitive future.”<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The Magna AI and GMI Cloud partnership offers a unique “AI transformation factory” model, providing a comprehensive, secure, and vertically integrated solution. The partnership is distinguished by its unique combination of strengths:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
